Hi Gerbrand,
I took a look at your scene (on SI2013).
My solution was to replace leaf emission from the main pointcloud to a
new pointcloud to keep things simple. Then add points at
strandpositions (filtering by the original pointcloud last state_id -
or strandtree iteration) and query strand arrays to build a "root to
tip" attribute on each leaf. Finally do whatever you need with this
new attribute, like resize the particles with an fcurve and so on...
hope it helps.

Cool, so you can check it out in 2013??
How do I get the leaves to go smaller towards the tip of each
emitting branch?
If it was a curve I could read the nearest U value and rescale
that, but this strand business complicates things.
The other thing I tried and failed at was to measure the distance
between each leaf and the tip of the strand, to get a value to
work with.
But things get lost in arrays of weird-shit from my point of view.
I hate knowing enough to get into this kind of crap, but not
enough to get out!!!

I have 2013 SP1 too, so I can compare. It just doesn't work in
2014 SP2. I unplugged everything but Basic Tree, and in 2014 SP2,
Emit Leaves doesn't add any points to the point cloud.

Yeah probably
I'm still in good old 2013 sp1

In 2014 I see the same thing as Chris.
Probably some nodes were dropped on load...maybe you were using
an old version of Build Array from Set?

Hey Chris, Thanks for looking
On my side I see a stand tree with green cones where
leaves will be
Are you at least seeing that?

I'm not seeing much when I open the scene? Or is that the

So this is part of my frustrating quest to get
smarter with ICE.
I would very much like to create a mint bush
procedurally using ICE.
I started by first molesting a lovely compound
created by Fabricio Chamon called strand tree.
I think Fabricio knew noobs like me would come along
and try this kind of shit, because the compound
responded with a full 3 hours of sodomy.
It is time to beg you guys for some help!!
The leaves is the main problem. I have got the
rotation and position right, but I have no clue how
to scale them so they are small towards the tips of
each stem.
Could someone please have a look at this scene. I'm
sure it's just a simple array thing, but my mind has
problems with arrays.
Thanks guys
